21 House of Stories Navigli events

It depends on the space1: for example, (un)Kitchen takes up to 14 people and the Secret Terrace up to 100. For tables and seating, confirm the specific layout.

Q: Are there rooms for small meetings?

Yes. Hero suites1 convert into rooms for up to 16 people; Hero 419 holds up to 20.

Q: Can I arrange a rooftop event in winter?

I Mirador3 invites private-event enquiries after the public season has closed. Agree the date, shelter and bad-weather alternative.

Q: Can I add food and music?

Yes. Food and drink, music, photography and video1 can be added to the enquiry.

Q: What does a venue cost?

Request a quote for your event1, with the venue, date, guest count and services you want.

21 House of Stories Navigli events can take over a junior suite, a courtyard or a terrace. I would start with the guest count and what everyone will be doing before falling for the skyline.

Hero 419 set for a meeting, with a long table and orange chairs

Is it for you?

I would come if

You want an intimate meeting with a domestic feel, or a celebration that moves outside.

Why come

I would look elsewhere if

You already need a guaranteed capacity for a particular layout: settle tables, seating and an indoor alternative in the quote.

Before booking

A retractable bed changes the room

In a Hero¹, the bed folds away and the junior suite becomes a room for a meeting, presentation or dinner. The 38 m² Hero holds up to 16; the 48 m² Hero 419 up to 20. Those are published event maxima; agree the seating for your particular layout.

The SuperHero¹ takes the group to the sixth floor: 75 m² indoors and a 100 m² terrace, with a maximum of 40 people. I would choose it for an event where moving between the table and the open air matters, with a plan ready for rain.

For a talk or private concert, Social Space Naviglio¹ has a stage in the corner, 110 m² and a maximum capacity of 85. The 200 m² courtyard holds up to 80; the 150 m² Secret Terrace on the third floor up to 100. The largest published capacity therefore belongs to an outdoor space.

All the details

Other spaces to compare

Space	Area	Maximum
I Mirador 8	120 m²	55
Social Space Café	40 m²	30
Café	25 m²	20
(un)Kitchen	40 m²	14

Areas and maximum event capacities; the agreed layout¹ determines how many guests can sit and where.

I would put these 3 things in the first enquiry

What everyone will be doing
A dinner, presentation and drinks reception need different layouts. Give the guest count, duration and format¹, so the room choice follows the event.
What needs to be in the room
Food and drink, live music, photography and video, furniture and audiovisual equipment¹ can be added. Have those items separated from the space charge.
Where you go if it rains
For a terrace or courtyard event, I would put the indoor alternative in writing. Indoor spaces¹ have different sizes and capacities from the outdoor venues.
